Agricultural Burn Permits

An open burn window has not been approved by the state forester for the fall of 2017. Burning restrictions are in place due to the extreme fire danger for Box Elder, Cache, Rich and Weber Counties. The state forester will re-evaluate the fire risk on October 1, 2017.

This form is for Agriculture Permits ONLY and ONLY on property zoned as agriculture. For all other burns, the next open burn season will be in fall 2017.
